Unsatisfactory. Do not buy the lifetime subscription. Do not buy the product unless you don't mind awful customer service. I have had two models (RTV3030 and RTV5504). The hard drives will fail. You will need technical support. Here is what you can...

Largest capacity PVR on the market

If you ask anyone that's owned a ReplayTV or a Tivo, they will tell you that they never want to go back to TV without one. The 4532 is just more of a good thing. While it's rated at 320hrs. of recorded material, nobody I know watches on low resolution,...

First off, I was going to go with TIVO until I found this unit. Open box with rebate along with it made it too irresistabel to pass up. Plus the subcription fee is only 9.99, much cheaper then TIVO when you think about having for a year. I was also...

Replay TV has the worst customer support poossible. When I have been lucky enough to reach a human it has involved waiting upwards of 4 hours on hold. Other times, the phone simply informs you that there are too many customers calling, and then...

Its the Skip that makes the difference

 

Its the Skip that makes the difference

I labored over which unit to buy, Replay or Tivo? I went for the Replay because it [is less to purchase and has a lower monthly fee]. What a good call, Replay delivers! What I have read about both machines is interchangable, but the real prize is...

This is a very nice unit. After having a Series One Sony TiVo, I wanted another PVR... With the open ReplayTV community, there are many freeware apps to make your computer act as a large storage facility for your Replay and many other apps.Setup was...
